  • That’s not canceling that’s just called harassment and you could have (and probably should have) pursed legal action. Cancelling would be if they never went there again and blasted your place of business all over their social media saying nobody should go there because they are “insert random mask slur”

    “ In pop culture, canceled means to make someone or something irrelevant due to current drama”

    When people say they are canceling target because target did something to offend someone (I don’t even remember what it was anymore) they mean they are going to refuse to go there and are going to tell other people they shouldn’t go there it doesn’t mean they are going to @ employees and their families and harass them

    When people say they are canceling Kanye they mean they are going to refuse to his listen to his music and buy his stuff maybe even go a step further and refuse to do business with any place that does business with Kanye, it doesn’t mean looking up the security guards working for Kanye and their family members and sending them hate speech that’s back to harassment

    Canceling can lead to harassment but they are not the same and you can cancel someone without harassing them and especially without harassing individual employees and their families




  • That would be true if first you ignore the effect of heating the pan on depyrogenation (killing of the toxins) which happens at approximately 250C which while hotter than your food that’s filled with moisture will get is reasonable for a cast iron pan to get to during both preheating and drying

    2nd you assume the toxins accumulate over time, which they wouldn’t because the microscopic amounts still in the pan will leave on the food and with a cursory wipe of a paper towel

    The reason it’s a concern with food is because if your food gets to 170F it’s considered overcooked so it never fully sterilizes and doesn’t depyrogenate but it’s not unusual to get a cast iron pan to 500F which does both.

    If you ever worked in a field that does sterilization you will learn the differences between cleaning, sterilizing, and depyrogenating




  • High schools run early because one of their primary functions is childcare while parents work and parents commonly leave for work between 7-8 so kids need to be on the bus before then. They then stagger primary, middle, and high school so they can use the same bus drivers for all of them and high schoolers leave first so that they can arrive home first without parents. This is being changed as high schoolers need more sleep but it’s not for sports.

    In college you need professors to teach classes and most of them want to work a more traditional schedule so want to be there from 7-3




  • Are you referencing the pew research study that also found that a large percentage of those men weren’t looking for a relationship

    Or the part where they define single to include casual relationships

    One of the top reasons women didn’t want to date a man was Donald Trump

    Men who were looking had their number one reason being “hard for them to approach people”

    Did you also see the part where women were the ones most likely to say dating is harder now than it used to be largely out of fear of harassment

    And while 12% say it’s harder to date because of technology 41% say it’s easier to date because of technology

    You do know it’s possible to read information analyze that data and use it to form an opinion but since you don’t actually seem interested in that opinion and all you want to do is attack you can do that by yourself




  • Pulling yourself up by your bootstraps is something that’s literally impossible to do. Telling a person that if they are struggling to meet women the first thing they should do is hang out in settings where women exist is literally just common sense, you even said it’s a pointless truism because of how obvious it is. Yet somehow many people are complaining about not meeting people and me saying you should hang out women is controversial…

    I am saying there isn’t a widespread problem and isn’t causing it the “male loneliness epidemic” really cementing the lack of problem as if it was wide widespread and considering the majority of men are straight that women would also be affected?

    I am once again saying the same thing I have been saying there is a growing group of people who are just complaining about a problem without taking steps to fix it and the rise of online message boards and engagement algorithms has created echo chambers that people get stuck in and a person should take the “obvious” steps to self improvement before writing off all their problems as “society”


  • You mention this as being because of the digital era but what about that is any different than 25 years ago? If you don’t have time to spend a few hours a week pursing a hobby how are you going to have time to be in a relationship? The cost of pursing hobbies is a real concern for lower income people but how has that changed? How were you supposed to date a person if you lived in a social desert with no reliable transportation before?

    Maybe I haven’t been clear with what I am saying because you are grossly misunderstanding my point.

    I am saying when you have a problem you should try and improve yourself to address the problem vs blame society. For example if you can’t figure out how to program in python: you could read about it, watch educational videos, or take a course. Going onto a message board and complaining that python is impossible and stating we are in a programmer epidemic while not trying to learn it first is bad. We can make the acknowledgement that python can be hard for some people to learn but calling it impossible to learn without having put in the effort is useless



  • It is a pointless truism, and it is a numbers game which is why it’s so shocking people don’t see that!

    So if one persons spends 1 hour a week with eligible women and the other person spends 10 hours a week with eligible women the second person is statistically much more likely to find a partner.

    And if you spend only 1 hour a week with eligible women and instead of increasing that time you just decide to blame society that’s a you problem

    There is also a difference between pretending to be interested in something to get laid and trying to find ways to do things you find interesting with other people
